Another Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge. We have a fun sketch for you to try this week! The dashed line indicates it is cut and opening as a gate fold card!
CHRISTMAS FRIENDS
This little fellow has been hanging out on my desk for a couple months! I had started him for another project and didn’t use him. So, it was a perfect time to finish off a card with him as the focus!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Crumb Cake cardstock, scored at 1-1/2 and 5-3/4, then folded the flaps towards the center.
- A 1-1/4 x 5-1/4 and 2-1/2 x 5-1/4 pieces of gingham Perennial Lavender Designer Paper were added to the front flaps (I love the gingham pattern that looks so masculine in a traditionally feminine package of paper!)
- The largest Stylish Shapes circle die was cut from Pecan Pie cardstock.
- The two greenery branches from Christmas Friends Dies from Old Olive cardstock and the bow from Cherry Cobbler cardstock. They were adhered together and added to the side of the circle.
- The moose was stamped with Early Espresso Ink on Crumb Cake cardstock and colored with Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie, Real Red and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. He was cut with the Dies and added to the front of the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The greeting from Christmas Friends was stamped with Early Espresso Ink on 1/2 x 2-1/2 piece of Crumb Cake cardstock and the ends cut at an angle. It was adhered to the bottom of the circle.
- The circle was attached only to the right side of the circle.
- Some Pecan Pie & Clear Ribboned Adhesive Backed Dots were added to the greenery and the background.
- Inside, the greeting from Greetings of the Season was stamped with Early Espresso Ink on a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock.
- A 1/2 x 4 strip of the gingham Perennial Lavender DSP was added along the bottom.
I love this whimsical bundle…it is almost my favorite from this catalog! OK, go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Stamping Friends.
